Shanghaied is a true adventure sea tale. Well written and entertaining, author David Paul Collins captures the reader's interest and imagination from beginning to end.
So much fun to read! The descriptions are so colorful it's like you are watching a movie! Excellent story telling, I couldn't put it down.
